Edward Ober’s reviews

Disability not obtained

I was denied disability and hired Mr. Ober to handle my appeal. I waited 15 months to even get a hearing. The paralegal assigned to my case did not listen to me and consider all aspects of my case. They focused on only the Migraine aspect of my case and not the big picture. I believe I could've won my case based on my SMI determination alone, but they refused to listen to my explanation of disabling conditions. I was provided an inexperienced representative for my appeal hearing. When I was again denied in my Administrative Law hearing, I received a letter in the mail stating that my representative no longer worked for their firm, but that they would ask for a review of the ALJ's decision. When I would call to update them on continued medical care I was made to feel as though I was a bother to the paralegal handling my case. Not to mention having to play telephone tag for sometimes days before contacting them. When I was denied a review of the ALJ's decision I was again reminded that Mrs. Sara Fern no longer worked for their firm and that they were closing my case as not won. I have fought for 3 years (most of which being a waiting game) and have nothing to show for it. I was told to file a new claim. I would never hire them again.
